The function of the medial head of calf gastrocnemius and how to exercise the medial head.

When we move laterally, we usually use the medial calf muscles. When doing lift heel exercises, the lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle will be very strong if the heel is to the left. If you want to exercise the medial head of gastrocnemius, lift your heels and land them as close as possible.

1. Empty body or load-bearing pad toe-for example, on the flat ground (in order to increase strength, pad a block of wood about 3cm thick near the toe joint), and then support the body with the strength of the medial forefoot and calf muscles. This piece of wood and the supporting part are very important, as close as possible to the joint between the big toe and the forefoot and the inside of the sole.

2. The included angles between legs are 90 degrees and 135 degrees respectively. Then, like the medial support of the forefoot mentioned above, you can lift your heel and support it for about 5 seconds. You can also do it repeatedly with the support of the forefoot-the angle of the knee cannot be changed, and the orientation of the knee can be roughly the external splayed foot and the parallel foot. . . Find your sense of stability and balance, don't be violent, and avoid getting hurt.

3. Jump over wooden benches or other obstacles about 30-50 cm high and at least 30 cm wide when one leg is empty or loaded.
